The odd tag

From: “Ceci n’est pas le vide” – An encounter with the artist of transience Tino Sehgal. By Sebastian Frenzel – 09/06/2005 – www.signandsight.com

“Generally our society defines itself through technical progress – development means technology’s transformation of natural resources into ever more refined things. But we already have far more than we need, and the mode of production is not sustainable and on top of that, a bit boring. For me the question was how to oppose this without lapsing into asceticism.”

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Tino Sehgal

Tino Sehgal, born 1976, is an artist. After studying political economy in Berlin and dance in Essen, Sehgal began his work in the context of the visual arts in 2000. He has since exhibited at a number of important venues including the Institute of Contemporary Arts, the Tate gallery and the Venice Biennale.

I agree (especially being able to stuff the plate on the table, when evening comes..). It was nice the Biennale performance: a group of fake stewards receiving the visitors with a surprising “It’s so contemporary!”
